You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
Ask whether assignment is available for your policy and location, what fees apply, and what you must pay upfront. MedaSynq does not arrange assignments.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
Under the FTC Funeral Rule, funeral homes must give price information by telephone and a written General Price List when you visit in person. Federal law does not require them to send the list by mail or email. You can select individual goods and services and use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“Ordered over phone a small replacement roller. Was told the total was $27.50 so I gave them my card number and paid. No invoice was sent so I looked at my bank statement and the total charge showed $57.37. I then emailed requesting the invoice and seen they put a freight charge of $29.87. I would’ve never ordered for that price plus the roller came had a missing spring. I emailed back asking about the freight charge and still no response. Please be careful. Never left a bad review but as a young new small business owner every dollar counts.”
